The Ace of Reason

Reason cannot show itself more reasonable than
to cease reasoning on things above reason"
Sir Philip Sidney.
Man dares to question Gods just laws,
To sneer. pervert. dissect;
To prove their fallacy because
He has an intellect
Created king of every cline.
Possessor of the sod.
Because he wears the form divine
He thinks himself god.
He reasons out salvation plan.
Brings theories of his own,
And with his puny. human hand
Usurps his Makers throne.
Then with his feeble, feeting breath,
Boys pardon at the gate of death.

The sleepy old town of Monterey
Drowsily lies in tho summer sun.
Amid her adobese old and gray,
She dreams Of past forever gore.
Out of the shadowy mists of years
Far from her present of doubt and feaea,
Come the ships aud the stalwart men;
The pineclad hills re echo again.
With clatter of hoof and soft refrain
Of mission chimes in a low, sweet strain,
Stealing across the summer sea.
Where the breszetouched waves all merrilv.
Chase each other in silvery spray.
Ger thy shining sands. o Monterey!

NO TRAMPS NEED APPLY.

At one time last week there was not q
single trsmpin Jefferson Jail living at the
expense Of the taxpayers of the county.
Under the administration of the present
sheriff, John d. Bullock, new order of
things is in vogue. The county jail is no
longer made the rendezvous for lot of
tramps living in ease, idleness and the
next thing to luxury at the expense of
the people. Unless the applicant is an
offender there is no use of applying 10
Sheriff Bullock for admittance into The
county Jail, hence the commitments are
not as numerous as they used 10 be under
the old methods which were the means of
making such such enormous bills for the
taxpayers to foot at each meeting of the
county board. The people of this county
will, in due time, see what virtue there was
in making the change they did in the
sheriff's office last fall. 1t is bearing
good fruit.

c. RUEBHAuSEN FOR TREASURER.

In response to the solicitation of many
friends, Charles Ruebhausen is again a
candidate for the Office of city treasurer,
as will be seen from bis card in another
column. Mr.. Ruebhausen has filled two
terms in the treasurer's Office with general
acceptance to the taxpayers, and in COM
ing forward for the third time, he desires
to have considered the fact of having held
for three terms, and longer, positions that
have no compensation, such as school
commissioner, alderman and supervisor,
giving his time to the public in these
Offices freely and willingly. Besides this,
it is not on unheard of thing to elect
city treasurer for three years, as several
can be named who, having filled the
office satisfactorily, were continued in the
position for three terms

IMPORTANT SALE OF ClYDESDALES.

DIR. Valerius & Co., of WATERFOWL,
| Wis, importers and breeders of Clydes-
dales, have made some very important
sales OF Ciydesdale stations and Shetland
ponies lately. The Clydesdale stallion
Jim Dandy (Vol. Ky was sold to Messrs.
Aiken Bros, La Crosse county, for 50, 200;
and the Clydesdale stallion Garbaldi the
w. (Vol. X, price $4,000, and Pride of
Glasgow, price 1925, go to Mr.. j. E.
North, of the Prairie Stock Farm, Duel
county, Oak. Mr. North also purchased
two verv fine Shetland ponies, perhaps
the best ever imported by DR.. Valerius
& Co. John Schmidt, OF Waukesha
county, takes Scottish Volunteer (Vol.
1O) for ST. $50.
Messrs North and Aiken started out
together to look over the different studs
of Clydesdales, and after calling at several
places, and knowing that "the best IS none
too GOOD finally concluded to purchase
Jim Dandy and Garihalti the w. for
the unprecedented sums above named.
Jim Dandy is prize winner from Scot
land, and sired by the famousSt. Lawrence
g, f20). GaribaIdi the w is a half
brother of the renowned Gilderoy q ,438).
The Clyuesdale stallion purchased by Mr..
Schmidt, Scottish Volunteer (Vol. 10Y, is
sired by Darwin (2,720) He was the
premium horse FOR the upper Strathearn
Society, Scotland, in 1884
This is the best sale the firm has
made this year. Owing to the fact that
these parties purchased the best the firm
had in the stable, James Mitchell of
Glasgow, Scotland, foreign purchasing
and sale agent for DR.. Valerius & CO.,
who arrived in this country last week
with an importation of Clydesdales, re-
turned to Scotland last Saturday for
new lot, to arrive here mex: month.
Dr. Valerus & Co. are becoming IA
nous as importers of firsi-class Clydes-
daes. As is no doubt we'll known, the
Clydesdale stallion which last fall was
shown at some of the leading fairs 10 this
state, and winning first prize over Glide
roy q ,438), was formerly owned by DR..
ValeriCs & Co. Because they export as
well as import, making their trips pay
each way, it enables them to sell the best
at very reasonable prices.

THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

The institute held at the High School
building last Friday and Saturday, at
tended by the teachers of graded schools
in Jefferson and Dodge counties, was full
of interest to the large number present
The class exercises conducted by the
teachers and the discussions that followed
| were among the most interesting and pro-
ftable features of the proceedings. The
regular institute work under the direction
Of Prof. S. Y Gillian, of Milwaukee, was
finely rendered and attended with very
satisfactory results to all concerned.
Saturday afternoon suggestive and
timely address was read by Superintend-
ent Sheridan. A large audience was
present OF Turner Hall to listen to the
lecture on Educational Values" by Prof
j. W. Stearns, of the State University.
He spoke in his usual easv, but forcibie
manner, presenting many new thoughts
on the true value of education, laying
particular stress upon the necessity and
importance of those branches of education
that possess an economic value. Prof.
Stea-ns took issue with Herbert Spencer
and Matthew Arnold on some of their
educational deductions, especially, when
one of these philosophical magnates asserts
that history is useless branch of study,
differing on this point from a noted
French writer, whose name we have lost,
who went so far as to say that only from
history can the student learn true man
hood. :

DEATH OF MRS CALVIN CHENEY.

Nancy g., wife of Calvin Cheney, died
Saturday, March 5, 1887, at o'clock p
NJ, at her home in the First ward, of apo
plexy, 10 the 50th year of her aye.
Mrs. Cheney was stricken down while in
the enjoyment of apparently good health,
illustrating forcibly that Sin the midst of
life we are in death" Friday forenoon
she attended to her household duties as
usual, and ate hearty dinner after which
she started on ride in her cutter down
town. She made few purchases of
goods at the stores and was on her way
home when dis covered at about 8 o'clock
by James Killian in front of Turner Hall
TIE horse at the time having for some
reason turned in from the street and was
walking slowly with the cutter along the
sidewalk. Mrs. Cheney had partially
fallen over towards the front of the cut
ter, little sideways and was found to be
wholly unconscious with the usual apo
plectic symptoms. She was at once
driven oy Mr.. Klllian to Mr.. Cheney's
office and from thence to her home. Drs.
Spaldingan Moulding were Immediately
summoned and all that medical skill
could devise was done for the sufferer.
DIR. s. Marks, of Milwaukee, was also called
in consultation in the case few hours
before her death. At about 5 o'clock
Mrs. Cheney regained partial conscious
ness, but soon relapsed into comatose
state and remained in this condition until

sister, neighbor or friend, she reached
high degree of perfection, and her
memory will be always fondly cherished
by those with whom she was thrown in

THE ITALIA OPERA COMPANY.

The Thalia Opera company opened a
series of performances at the Academy
yesterday afternoon with Millecker's
"Feldprediger,"- 1.-THE Black Hussar,' y
as it is known to EGglish-speaking audi
ences. The attendance was large, as al
ways is the case when the Thalia people
put in an appearance at Milwaukee, and
enthusiasm ran high, although the oper-
eta is not by any means new, and has
been given several times here. But the
subject matter is well calculated 10 arouse
the patriotism of the German people, es-
pecially at the present time, when the
relations between Das Vaterland and the
ambitious Gaul are assuming critical
aspect. The story of the Black Hussar,
disguised az an army Chaplain, or FIELD
prediger, furnishes plumber of dramatic
incidents or climaxes which have been
worked up in an exceedingly effective
manner BY the librettist and the compos-
or, who have not neglected to provide tor
the amusement of the audience through
the magistrate and his factotum. The
performance yesterday was characterized
by the same standard of excellence which
is noted in all the work done by the
Thalia. Among the new singers is Selma
Kronold, who took the role of Minna, in
which she displayed fine soprano voice,
we'll trained, good figure, pleasing
presence and abundant dramatic ability
Emma Mefert, an established favorite
with German theater-goers, was excel
lent in the role of Rosetta. The Barbara
OF Albertine Habrich, the Hellwig of
Edward Elsbach, and the Kuhnwald of
Rudolph Sinnhold were excellent. The
comedy work of Carl Friese as the Magis-
trate and Felix Scknelle as Pifkow was
really enjoyable, being free from the at
tempts at burlesque which attach to the
English performances. The minor parts
were we'll presented, and the chorus work
was in good trim.-Mila0aukee Sentinel.
